Nicotine is highly addictive.

Only recently was nicotine declared a drug officially in all respects.

In a recent comparison between the properties of several major drugs such as; heroin, cocaine and alcohol, it has been found that nicotine has the highest addictive power. Substance induced addiction is determined by; the difficulty a person encounters when trying to cease, the frequency of relapses, the percentage of dependent people and the “value” it has among the users, evidence of health damage notwithstanding.

Next to pharmacological dependence the psychological dependence on nicotine plays a decisive role in the establishment of a tie between smoker and cigarette. The triggers are mostly connected with; social and cultural factors, gestures associated with the action of smoking and to the amphetamine-like related effects. These effects induce expectations of better performances when facing social or work related pressure.
